Product Description

The fish was an early Christian symbol, and still enjoys widespread use among Christians today. Persecuted Christians in Roman times originally used the sign of the fish to identify one another. The Greek word for fish, ichthus, is made up of the initial letters of the words in the phrase 'Jesus Christ, God's Son, Saviour'. In the bible, the fish symbolizes God's abundant provision.

In New Testament times, the Sea of Galilee was abundant with marine life and produced a flourishing export trade through the Roman Empire.
